AIR COOLER. FOR MOTORS.

Application filed April 5, 1924.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ARTHUR Ronnnn, a citizen of the United States,residing at Benton Harbor, in the county of Berrien, and State ofMichigan, have invented new and useful Improvements in Air Coolers forMotors, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a cooling system for internal combustionengines and has for its primary object the construction of an air coolerwhich will effectively cool a motor by air.

An object of the invention is the simple substantial manner in which theparts are constructed so that the required volume of air may be causedto circulate around the motor.

Besides the above my invention is distinguished in the combination of anair cooling system with means for controlling the amount of air passingso as to control the cooling action. I

With these and other objects in view the invention will be betterunderstood from the following detailed description taken in con nectionwith the accompanying drawing wherein:

Fig. 1 is a diagrammatic View showing the application of my invention.

Fig. 2 is a sectional view on the line 22 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is a cross sectional view.

Fig. 4 is a detailed view of the shutter construction.

Again referring to the drawing illustrating one of the manyconstructions of my invention the numeral 1 designates a frame which maybe constructed to imitate the usual radiator now' in use. This frame 1forms an air opening 2 that is controlled by a plurality of shutters 3operated by the Serial No. 704,547.

link mechanism 4 which in turn is controlled by the adjuster 5 on thedashboard 6. The rear of the opening 2 is closed by a collector 7 fancasing 8 which communicates with a through the outlet 9. This fan casing8 communicates with a conduit 10 which in motor jacket turn communicateswith the 11. A fan 12, arranged in the fan casing, has a gear drive 13with the shaft 1 L d1 -iven by the motor.

From the foregoing description taken in connectlon with the accompanyingdrawlng it will be app arent that my construction is such that therequired volume of air can be forced through the motor to cool same andthis cooling action is such that the motor may be run and mostefliciently tempered by the manual in It is, of con anipulation of theshutters. rse, to be understood that the I claim is An air cooler formotors comprising a frame forming an air opening, a plurality ofshutters controlling the passage of air through said opening, linkmechanism for operating said shutters, a collector formed at the rear ofsaid opening, said collector having an out cation with th a fan withinmotor and a, tion, between jacket.

In testimon ture.

let, a fan casing in communie collector through the outlet, the casingdriven from the conduit forming communicathe casing and the motor ywhereof I affix my signa ARTHUR ROEDER.
